"Xiao Chen, are you serious?" Li Shi was also shocked by Xiao Chen's bold idea.
This is simply unbelievable and a daydream!
Even in a dream, I would never dream of such an unreasonable thing.
"This is just an idea I have, and it is very immature, but I am serious about it." Xiao Chen said solemnly, "Whether Xiao Xinghan is a remnant of the previous Han dynasty, he is a heinous traitor leader. That’s fine, but don’t forget that he is still Chinese after all.”
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, several people fell into silence.
"Xiao Chen's words hurt my heart!" After a long time, Li Wanjiang sighed leisurely, "My heart aches, but I don't know if Xiao Xinghan will also feel pain when he hears these words. Woolen cloth?"
"The Emperor has the world in mind and a holy heart. I think that as long as he is Xiao Xinghan, he should be heartbroken." Xiao Chen paused and said, "If he has a heart of stone and is unmoved, then this person is not good enough." For fear of it, the day of destruction is not far away.”
"That's a good thing to say." Li Wanjiang said, "I will give him a decree and order him to send the Yizhou Navy to the north to help in the battle. At the same time, I will explain to him the interests and dangers and show my righteousness. Let's see if he will obey the imperial edict."
Li Wanjiang is indeed a hero!
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!" Xiao Chen said loudly.
"Why don't you, Your Majesty, tell the world directly and order all rebels and traitors, including Xiao Xinghan, to stop fighting while we attack Shunfeng Port!" Zhu Xiaochuan said.
"Hahaha, what Xiaochuan said makes sense, so let's do it this way!" Li Wanjiang felt his heart melting after hearing this!
I feel that what I am doing now is something that has never been done before and may never be done again. No matter what the outcome is, it is so heroic and joyful.
At least everyone in the world will know how big my heart is, Li Wanjiang!
Of course, we can't announce it now, because the battle hasn't started yet. We can only give the order to Xiao Xinghan first and see if he dares to accept the move?
"I also plan to find a Westerner named Wilson for help. He knows some people who are good at naval warfare. Maybe he can summon some warships to help..." Xiao Chen still hesitated as he spoke, hesitating and looking a little weird.
Damn it, you kid even dares to say something about joining forces with Xiao Xinghan, what else can't you say?
"Xiao Chen, you are saying that you need to spend money to hire them to help us fight, right?" Li Shi felt that his guess was correct.
"It costs money, and a lot of it. After all, we don't know each other or have any contact with them, and they won't help us fight in vain." Xiao Chen said.
"Then the money is worth spending. No matter how much you spend, it's cost-effective." Zhu Xiaochuan said.
"Which country is that Wilson from? He is so capable that he can summon his country's warships to sail across the ocean to help us fight the war?" Chen Wenqi found it incredible.
"Uh... I said these battleships don't belong to any country." Xiao Chen sneered.
"Oh, you are so brave!" Li Shi suddenly realized, "You're not talking about a pirate ship, are you?"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Xiao Chen said loudly.
"Don't worry, I'm not that smart. You're just messing around. You dare to look for a pirate ship. Isn't this inviting a wolf into the house?" Li Shi waved his hands repeatedly, sternly rejecting Xiao Chen's flattery.
"My lord, did you just say that it doesn't matter whether the cat is white or black, as long as..." Xiao Chen apologized and smiled.
"That's a cat I'm talking about, but a pirate is a wolf. How can that be the same thing?" Li Shi said angrily.
"Whether pirates are wolves or cats, in the final analysis they are still human beings, just bad guys..." Xiao Chen said with a smile, "What are they doing plundering at sea? After all, isn't it for wealth? As long as we
If they are willing to pay a high price, they will help us fight and sacrifice their lives for us."
Also, I heard from Wilson that although these guys are extremely vicious and cruel, they are very loyal. As long as they make a contract with them, they will definitely fulfill the contract and will never go back on it. Otherwise, no matter how big the sea is, there will be no room for them.
Place!"
"Wilson made a contract with them. Every time he passed through the waters controlled by these pirates, he would pay them a portion of gold coins as payment for passage, and they would never invade Wilson's merchant ships, no matter how many valuable goods were on Wilson's ships.
, how many jewels, gold and silver.”
"Because pirates also need islands and ports to dock at, and they also have contracts with these ports and islands. These are all reputation contracts, so once it is known that they have violated any contract, these ports and islands will never allow them to dock again.
Their peers will also hate them and attack them for losing their collective credibility."
Let Xiao Chen put it this way, a few people feel that this matter is really feasible...
But here comes the question. The pirates are just a ragtag group. They can just rob cargo ships and merchant ships. How can they fight against the regular fleet of the Russians?
Xiao Chen said that although these guys are fierce villains and cruel thugs, they are also the bravest sailors and the bravest warriors in the sea.
Since they can survive on the sea, they must have strong fighting power, otherwise wouldn't they have been wiped out long ago?
Besides, no matter how powerful they are, they are still better than nothing, right?
The most we can do is spend some money.
And it is a one-time gift. Whether their ship sinks or people die during the battle has nothing to do with us.
So I don’t know how much money it will cost?
Xiao Chen said that I don’t know either, and we haven’t discussed it yet, but since we are asking people to sacrifice their lives, it will definitely not work if we lower the price.
Anyway, it all depends on Mr. Chen Wenqi. I will hire as many warships for you as much money as you can give. If you give enough, I will hire a fleet for you. It will be no problem.
Isn't that what pirates don't have?
"Am I the only one who thinks this matter is unreliable?" Wang Anbang said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your lords, you are not really thinking about this matter, are you?"
"Hahaha! I also appreciate Xiao Chen's unreliability. This is called daring to be the first in the world. How can you know if everything will work if you haven't tried it?" Li Wanjiang laughed. It was indeed the emperor's ambition.
But what he said next made Xiao Chen tense up, "Let's leave this matter to Xiao Chen. If anything goes wrong with these pirates, I will take your head, right?"
"Chen..." Xiao Chen grinned when he heard it, thinking that this is just my suggestion. Your Majesty, you must be sure. If not, I will pull you down. Why should you transfer this responsibility to me?
It doesn't make sense either.
"Huh?" Li Wanjiang was unhappy.
"I obey the order!" Xiao Chen smiled bitterly.
"Xiao Chen, don't point out how much money I can give you. Five million will almost wipe out our household finances!" Chen Wenqi is an iron rooster and is unwilling to pull out a hair, so that's why Li Wanjiang trusts him so much.
he.
"Face!" Xiao Chen said with a smile, "How much does this cost? If you have three to five million, it's just so-so."
